Penn State Notes:
• Penn State’s two most experienced players, Johnson and Luber, went a combined 1 of 15 from the floor in the loss to Purdue.
• Johnson is making only 34 percent of his shots in Big Ten games, a poor number for a big guy. Making it worse: He has not had an assist in the last three games. Becoming the focal point of opposing defenses has obviously been a struggle.
• Luber had made six shots (on 27 attempts) in Penn State’s last five games. He is 2 of 13 from the arc in that stretch.
• Parker had three steals against Purdue, marking the first time in Big Ten play this year a PSU player had more than two thefts in a game.
• Nearly 30 former Lions will be honored during the team’s “Alumni Weekend” ceremony during the game. Included will be All-Big Ten guard Danny Earl and All-American Mark DuMars.
• Stat watch: Big Ten opponents are making nearly half their shots (48.9 percent) against the Lions. …
